iPhone 16 Pro Max's Narrow Bezels Get a Major Upgrade, Posing a New Challenge for Screen Protectors

Blogger iIceUniverse recently revealed that Apple will further reduce the bezels on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, with the bottom bezel measuring just 1.15mm, a new industry record. This ultra-narrow bezel design, while delivering a more immersive visual experience, presents a greater challenge for users in terms of applying screen protectors. iIceUniverse states that the iPhone 16 Pro Max is incredibly demanding when it comes to tempered glass screen protectors, with even a slightly wider black border or a slight misalignment rendering them useless.

Aside from the narrow bezels, the iPhone 16 Pro Max boasts a larger 6.9-inch display, making it Apple's largest smartphone ever. Notably, the overall industrial design remains similar to its predecessor, featuring the familiar metal body and offering four color options: Titanium White, Titanium Black, Titanium Gold, and Titanium Grey. Of these, Titanium Gold appears subdued and deep, resembling a dark gold color, replacing the Titanium Blue from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Regarding the launch of the iPhone 16 series, sources suggest a September 10th release date, with pre-orders commencing on September 13th and a full market launch on September 20th. Entering peak season for component procurement for the new iPhone in August, production and delivery are expected to accelerate. The market is highly anticipating the launch of the iPhone 16 series in September. Dongwu Securities points out that this lineup of new products will further boost Apple's phone sales and have a positive impact on the overall smartphone market.

The narrow bezel design of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is undoubtedly a highlight of Apple's smartphones this year, enhancing the visual appeal and user experience. However, this design also presents a new challenge for users, making screen protector application a critical consideration. Whether the narrow bezel design of the iPhone 16 Pro Max will be well-received by users remains to be seen.
